San Fernando restaurant attracts long, Christmas Eve lines as workers prep 5,000 tamales

Dozens of people started their Christmas Eve off early Thursday, braving both the cold weather and long lines to buy tamales from a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley.

Before the day is over, Magaly’s Tamales and Mexican Grill, located at 134 N. Maclay Ave., was expecting to sell about 5,000 tamales to families who are used to the traditional meal.
